This case aside, I think generally in both the US and Canada it has been very safe for politically influential and high net worth individuals.
In Russia, things are different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_notable_R...
Because in US and Canada the "poor" think that the middle class (millionaires at best) is the reason why they're poor.
And the middle class thinks it's the poor taking handouts why they're not richer.
When it's the actual billionaires behind all of it.

Was Seth Rich either politically influential or high net worth?

Even if we assume all of those are nefarious, that is much fewer people over a much longer period. If you have to add "probably many others", it feels like you are just extrapolating in your favor without evidence.
Aren't you just proving the point, though? You automatically assume all conspiracies from one set of countries to be unsubstantiated, yet all the other ones from a different set of countries to suddenly be substantiated and requiring no further proof? And don't even bother to refer to the latter ones as "conspiracies", whereas, in polite company, all the former ones, must explicitly be referred to as "conspiracies".
For a lot of these cases, there's really no way to definitively prove either way, so, the fact that with the same set of basic facts, different conclusions are reached, using different words, doesn't instil objectivity to the process.
